Foster is quoted on al.com. "I need to build a relationship with him (Malzahn). I built one with the rest of the staff, especially Coach Trooper Taylor. It's built on a FINANCIAL basis. Yes I was waiting on the head coach to be hired, but even more so I am waiting to see what happens with Coach Taylor because my relationship with him is different than a regular coach to player relationship"
